I finally received a letter from Fondi regarding my great grandfather Alessandro Inglese. I am so happy. Could someone translate this for me so I know what it says and if it gives me any helpgul information. Thanks.

Hi Kim, also are an error typing in the birthact: the document data is Fondi 05 dicembre(december) 200005...when a futuristic document is said.... ehehe ....however... the document no helpful for citizenship request, because are this error date but only for genealogy research... suanj

It refers to the subject 'oggetto' and your document request 'invio documento'.

Further to your faxed request for a birth extract of Allessandro Inglese on 16 Nov 2005. We are able to present you with a copy of the same document if you can provide a reply paid envelope 'busta affrancata' and the fee of 5 euros to cover the adminitration 'diritti di segretaria'.

Thanks for the help. So is this a birth act that they sent me or do I have to pay the 5.00 Euros to get it? If not, what is the 5.00 euros for and do I still pay it?

Suanj said something about a citizenship request. What is that? I am only wanting this for geneaological purposes. This is the great grandfather that I am trying to figure out who is REAL parents are. He was unofficially adopted. Let me know on the above is possible. Thanks again.

OK, I will send the money and the SASE. Thanks and I will let you know how it goes. Do I write back saying I want the birth act or do I enclose what they gave me? If so, can someone help me with that in Italian since I am terrible at it.

well, the info that are in this recent birthact (and that you already knew from 1998 since) is right for genealogic search..

So if I send the Euro's tomorrow will they just be giving me the same copy of what I have or will it be different? The whole purpose of this is to try to locate who is real parents are. Suanj knows the story and requested that I write Fondi.
